The cabin has a berth for two persons, I prefer single. Can give price for more than 3 days.

Hi Guys, I am half French, half Greek, lived in Holland, the Uk, Denmark. I worked as a journalist, teacher, an artist, a singer, a writer, a therapist. I travel a lot so this is not a professional, room to let, Bnb, but my home. My studio is quite an old apartment and I am renovating it little by little, with your help. I like the rustic feel it has, combined with the artist’s living quarters and youthful scent it has lingering. Having lived in several homes in Athens, I like the fact it is different because it is sunny ( no other building in front), in the center but not in a noisy or unsafe area. It needs a bit of TLC, but I bought a new fridge, bed, have a flat Tv to make it as modern, cozy and practical as possible. Unfortunately pets are not allowed ( don’t let the picture fool you) I aspire in making it hygge and warm, and provide a haven for memories, as it did with me. The walls have drawings from the time I was tattooing, and some other pieces randomly chosen. If you like something, do not hesitate to ask a price ;) The main color is white and blue, and I did it alone, enjoying every minute of it. In other words, this is not a hotel room, it is my home and I am inviting you to share it, to feel the vibe of it, to live like I lived. My co-host is also an artist, a bass player and my friend and helper. If you like the place, please rate it well and if you have constructive feedback, let me know how I can make your life and consequently mine also, easier. |

Also I enjoy collecting beautiful songs - especially ballads - and I shiver at a great vocal and strong lyrics. My favourite artist is Boy George and my guilty pleasures include everything from Nana Mouskouri to Billy Idol, Katie Melua, Robbie Williams, Belinda Carlisle, Kim Wilde, Morten Harket, Cher, Antony & The Johnsons and more. I would also like to be more involved in arts but I have not quite found the way yet. Well, maybe it does not matter.

scale_x_continuous(limits = c(0,500), breaks= seq(0, 8000, by=50))
The data set is composed by 11263 instances and 35 variables, between numeric and character type data. Some of this variables give identification info, some shows important dates, other shows the ratings gived by users that rent the stays and others give numeric data about the ammenities in the stay.
Histograms show the trend of the prices, where the most are in the range between 25 - 75 USD. per night. Aditional we can view from the the first graph that there is some outliers in the data, e.g. the prices of 7000 USD, that don’t make too much sense.
From the summary and the box we can note that data have some things to fix, for example getting a correct format for the variables.
Processing data
First of all we will process the numeric data and get some stats about the relation between the variables ans prices
################
# Numeric data #
################
## Correlation with price
numericVars <- which(sapply(data, is.numeric)) #index vector numeric variables
numericVarNames <- names(numericVars) #saving names vector for use later on
cat('There are', length(numericVars), 'numeric variables')## There are 24 numeric variablesall_numVar <- data[, numericVars]
cor_numVar <- cor(all_numVar, use="pairwise.complete.obs") #correlations of all numeric variables
## sort on decreasing correlations with SalePrice
cor_sorted <- as.matrix(sort(cor_numVar[,'price'], decreasing = TRUE))
## select only high corelations
CorHigh <- names(which(apply(cor_sorted, 1, function(x) abs(x)>0.04)))
cor_numVar <- cor_numVar[CorHigh, CorHigh]
library(corrplot)
corrplot.mixed(cor_numVar, tl.col="black", tl.pos = "lt")
As we can see in the correlation plot above, the correlation between price and most of the numeric variables is high and positive, but in the other hand the negative correlation specialy with number of reviews and reviews per month sugest that when the price increase the number of reviews trend to decrease and viceversa, when the price decreases the number of reviews increase.
For our porpouses the high correlation coeficient between the numeric variables like square feet, bathrooms, bedrooms, accommodates and beds, shows that there is colinearity between this features and this coul make troubles when making predictions based on the data due to a feature leakage problem.
Next we can look at some specif segments of the data, for example, one of the chatacter class features the room type is a label of the data, that let us know if a stay is a entire home or apartment, hotel room, private room or a shared room and this label exists for all instances of the data, so we can get 4 groups in the data.
ggplot(data = data, aes(x=factor(room_type), y=price, fill = factor(room_type))) +
geom_boxplot() +
labs(x='Room Type') +
geom_text_repel(aes(label = ifelse(data$price>2000, rownames(data), ''))) ## displays the index
## basis on a condition
outliers <- data[c(6217, 6241:6244, 7783, 10642),c(21, 15, 29, 26)]
outliers <- outliers[order(outliers$price), ] ## ordering data by price
outliersggplot(data = data[-c(6217, 6241:6244, 7783, 10642),], aes(x=factor(room_type), y=price, fill = factor(room_type))) +
geom_boxplot() +
labs(x='Room Type') +
geom_text_repel(data = data[-c(6217, 6241:6244, 7783, 10642),],aes(label = ifelse(price>=1000, rownames(data), ''))) ## displays the index
## basis on a condition
ggplot(data = data, aes(y=price, x=seq(1,nrow(data), 1), colour = factor(room_type)))+
geom_point()+
labs(x=NULL, colour = "Room type")+
geom_text_repel(aes(label = ifelse(price>2000, rownames(data), '')))
Last boxplot shows that still being some outliers in data, but prices of 500 - 1500 USD are much understandable, maybe there is somo arrendatary renting his house per month and put elevated prices for a full house monthly rent, or a familry rent a private room in a exclusive zone of the city, or some exclusive hotel puts their rooms in airbnb for get more clients in platforms where they don’t have large presence. In the other hand we can see that in shared rooms exists an small amount of outliers, that make sense cause there are a low number of stays with this class. The scatter plot only confirm that the atypic values are the ones that has a price higher than 2000 USD.
ggplot(data = data, aes(x=review_scores_rating,
fill = factor(room_type)))+
geom_bar(position = "dodge", width = 2) +
labs(fill = "Room type", x="Review scores rating")+
scale_x_continuous(limits = c(45,100), breaks = seq(45,100,5))
ggplot(data = data, aes(y=price, x=bathrooms, colour = factor(room_type)))+
geom_point()+
labs(x="Number of bathrooms", colour = "Room type")+
scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq(0,10,1))+
scale_y_continuous(trans = "log10")
The bar plot shows that the entire home and apartments stays dominate the market and hotel rooms follows the same trend. Private rooms have more presence than hotel rooms in the number of ratings but the score ratings of hotel rooms are higher. From this we can conclude that the quality and amenities of the hotel rooms result in more confort place than the private rooms, it has sence because the private rooms have common places within a occupied house contrary to a hotel room a even an entire home/apt..
From the scatter graph we can conclude that the number of bathrooms don’t affect the price in a direct way. This is visible when the the price is very high and the number of bathrooms are low (between 1, 2 and 3).
Dates as numeric data
Now we’re gonna explore the dates in tha data, the dataset give it to us in a character class feature.

As we can see in box below, we have a column with info about the date of inscription of the host, and dates of the first and last time in where a guest make a review of the stay. In the other hand, the format is not in a correct way for process it in R, so whe’re gonna fix it and then do some feature engineering to extrac more relevant information about they.
## modifying dates to process them
data$host_since <- gsub("-", "/", data$host_since)
data$first_review <- gsub("-", "/", data$first_review)
data$last_review <- gsub("-", "/", data$last_review)
## days between revies
as.numeric() %>% as.Date.character(x = data$last_review, format = "%Y/%m/%d") -
as.Date.character(x = data$first_review, format = "%Y/%m/%d") -> all_numVar$daysb_reviews
## days as host
as.numeric() %>% as.Date.character(x = data$last_review, format = "%Y/%m/%d") -
as.Date.character(x = data$host_since, format = "%Y/%m/%d") -> all_numVar$days_as_host
## getting the year and month separated
## host since variables
hs_yr <-substring(data$host_since, first = 1, last = 4) ## extract a substrin from one to another in a character string
hs_mo <- substring(data$host_since, first = 6, last = 7)
## first review variable
fr_yr <- substring(data$first_review, first = 1, last = 4)
fr_mo <- substring(data$first_review, first = 6, last = 7)
## last review variable
lt_yr <- substring(data$last_review, first = 1, last = 4)
lt_mo <- substring(data$last_review, first = 6, last = 7)
## getting
dates <- data.frame(cbind(as.numeric(hs_yr), as.numeric(hs_mo),
as.numeric(fr_yr), as.numeric(fr_mo),
as.numeric(lt_yr), as.numeric(lt_mo),
all_numVar[25], all_numVar[26] ,data[21]))
names(dates) <- c("hs_yr", "hs_mo", "fr_yr", "fr_mo",
"lt_yr", "lt_mo", "daysb_reviews", "days_as_host","price")From last review and host since we can get an estimate of days as host, and from last review minus first review we can get the active days of a listing, stored in days between reviews.
The we extract the years and month of every date column and get some value info.
head(dates)Now we have a column for year and month when a host sign up, and the same for the last and first reviews. Then we can see days between revies and days a host, and finally the price per each instance.
By this moment we can chek if there is some missing information in dates.
NA_Dates <- which(colSums(is.na(dates)) > 0)
sort(colSums(sapply(dates[,NA_Dates], is.na)), decreasing = TRUE)## days_as_host fr_yr fr_mo lt_yr lt_mo
## 2275 2273 2273 2273 2273
## daysb_reviews hs_yr hs_mo
## 2273 2 2There’s 2273 missing values in the reviews and 2 missings in the host dates, so we’re gonna fix that missing values to bring some sense to the data.
## days os host
dates$days_as_host <- as.numeric(dates$days_as_host)
dates$days_as_host[is.na(dates$days_as_host)] <- 0
dates$days_as_host[dates$days_as_host==0] <- round(mean(dates$days_as_host),0)
## days between reviews
dates$daysb_reviews <- as.numeric(dates$daysb_reviews)
dates$daysb_reviews[is.na(dates$daysb_reviews)] <- -999
obs_dbr <- dates$daysb_reviews[!dates$daysb_reviews==-999]
dates$daysb_reviews[dates$daysb_reviews==-999] <- round(mean(obs_dbr), 0)Once we have fixed the NA’s we can view the data and make some inferences.
## plot of price fluctuation by mothn and year
p_y <- ggplot(data = dates[!is.na(dates$hs_yr),],

grid.arrange(p_y, p_m)## matrix of plots
The mean price per year graph let us see that the prices have an upward trend, and more specifly in 2011, 2012 and 2016 had an augment in the prices, then past the 2016 the prices return to a range between 64 - 65 USD.
In the second bar plot (mean price per month) we can see that January, March, April, July and August has a range of prices more stable (60 - 69 USD), but in October the prices are much higher than the others, then in november and december the prices drop to 70 USD. So we can make focus on examining prices in October.

Information about specific dates
In this section we can view the info about the years that call more the attention due to de augment in prices, so let’s explore it.
Year 2011
The plot let us see that in 2011 there’s no shared rooms in the market, additional to this we can conclude that:
- Entire home and apartments own the market
- Hotel rooms begin to enter the market and prices are a little low (March)
- The private rooms get high prices in the month of June
Year 2012
In 2012 we can highlight that the prices of hotel rooms are very much higher in almost every month which they appear (except in April).
- Entire home and apartment still dominating the market (presence allong entire year)
- In May the private rooms get a higher prices than the entire home and aparments.
Year 2016
This graph is interesting due to the fact that we can see that in October and August something is happening this year, some theorys could be:
In August the four type of stays has very high prices, maybe there was a social event like a festival or a global convention that make the prices get higher.
The same for November this time only Entire home/apt and Hotel rooms get the upward trend.
Let’s take a look into this two months
August
Mean price of Entire home/apt is 43.05 but the sum of all prices is 5941, contrary to the case of Shared rooms where the mean price is 5000 and the sum of all 5000. So this means that there is one shared room with an extremely high price per night.
October
The same thing occur in October, the prices for Hotel rooms are extremely high, we can say this because of the top of the bar and the high number of the mean, that sugest that theres is only 4 or 5 listings but that listings have elevated prices.

This plot show that the majority of hostes answer in fast, but call the attention that when they take longer time to response the prices seems to be more highers.
From last two plots we can conclude that when the host is a superhost, and have and identity verified the price tredns to be a little lower.

In this section we’ll gona cluster the data, based on the geolocalization data present in the dataset. Making use of a green cluster algorithm we’re gonna determine the optimal number os clusters and then we’ll gonna apply it to our data.
###########
# k-means #
###########
athens <- get_map(location = "athens", zoom = 13) # getting the map of athens
# from google
## plotting the raw data
ggmap(athens)+
geom_point(data = all_data, aes(x=longitude, y=latitude))
The data without a cluster label, only shows the points mapped in a window. Next we’ll have to run the K-means algorithm but before we’ll make a test that sugets and optimal number of clusters.
## grouping by localization
geo_loc <- all_data[, c(3,2)]
# estimating the number of clusters by using the factoextra
# library
fviz_nbclust(geo_loc, FUNcluster = kmeans, method = "silhouette")
As we can see the method sugest that the optimal number of clusters is 8. So we’ll use this number for the number of clusters to make.
geo_kmeans <- kmeans(x = geo_loc, centers = 8, trace = TRUE) # Applying the algorithm## Visualizing the results
ggmap(athens)+
geom_point(data = all_data, aes(x=longitude, y=latitude, color=factor(geo_kmeans$cluster)))+
labs(color="Clusters")+
ggtitle("Athens city distribution of stays")
The result is satisfactory, the algorithm clearly separate the data in good form, this is proven by the non mixed points we can see in the plot.
Making predictions based on the data (XGBoost model)
Now we’re gonna use an algorithm called XGBoost or Extreme Gradient Boosting. This algorith also help us to see, what variables are more important to predict the price of an a stay.

As we can see, the predicction almost got it, except for some points, where the results don’t reach the high prices of a stay. Anyway there’s a good result for only one run of the algoritm. Let’s try a cross validation aproach and some tunning for hyper parameters.
But first we’ll take a look into the importance of the variables for the prediction.
imp_mat <- xgb.importance(feature_names = names(data_train), model = model_xgb,
data = data_train) ## importance matrix
xgb.plot.importance(imp_mat, top_n = 30, plot = TRUE) ## plotting the importance 
## of the predictorsHere we can see that with the top 5 features we almost reach the 90% of importance for the prediction of the price (target).
XGboost cross validation
First, let’s set a grid of HP for the cross validation approach.
## cross validation for xgboost
hpgrid <- expand.grid(max_depth = seq(3, 6, 1), eta = seq(.2, .35, .01)) ## hyperparameter
## gridIn hpgrid we have a matrix of two columns, one values of depth from 3 to 6 and combine every value with every value of eta(learning rate) from 0.2 to 0.35 with a step of 0.1.
Now we can run the cv for XGBoost.
xgb_train_mae <- c() ## vector to store the mae for training
xgb_test_mae <- c() ## vector to store the mae for test
## Cross validation for XGBosst applying different combination for hyper parameters

As shown in the comparison of the two runs of the algorithm, with de validation set hyperparameters the line adjust more to the line of the test, but we haven’t prove the best training set HP yet.

As we can see, there is no significant difference between the Validation and Training set hyperparameters, we can say that our model reach good results, maybe doing more feature ingineering or feeding more data to the model we can improve its performance.
